This is especially important considering I'm planning on transferring to a US university sometime in my first 2 years at AUB.
If you plan to transfer to the US, you are probably better off going for ECE, as it is
ABET accredited. Keep in mind that the first year (or two) will be fundamental physics/circuits/math courses (and one programming course). I would double check with the relevant US universities whether your AUB credits will be accounted for.
